Hello and welcome to the official blog for the Our Dream, This Life visual novel!

ABOUT THE DEV; Coal - He/They - 20 years old - @xsugarcoalx

ABOUT THE GAME; ODTL is a weirdcore and dreamcore inspired visual novel about the player (You!) ending up in a strange place made from the imagination of two siblings. While you encounter strange beings and form relationships as you try to find a way out, others are planning on how to keep you there forever.

PLEASE NOTE that I would prefer minors under 16 to not interact with my content, and would prefer minors to not interact with this blog at all; Thank you for understanding.

ABOUT THE CHARACTERS;

PLAYER - It's you! A barista that a coffee shop that tripped over a rock and fell into The Imagination. Around 29 years old - They/Them (you'll be able to select pronouns in game)

THE RECLUSE - The first person you meet and one of the only other humans. He's a bit odd, but having a tour guide is better then nothing, right? 28 years old - He/They/It

LACIE - The creator of The Imagination. A smart girl who doesn't talk much, and the third of the only four humans present. Even if she might not believe that you're human, she still hopes you have a good time here. 19 years old - She/Her - Aromantic Asexual*

LUKAS - Lacie's older brother and one of two nurses present within this space. He has a notable hatred for Recluse, and a very evident dislike of humans, surely this can only go well. 27 years old - He/Him

*Lacie is the only main character with a confirmed sexuality, however most side characters will have confirmed sexualities as well. I based Lacie a bit off myself and I figured it would be nice to have a platonic yandere to explore that kind of relationship.

Other notes will be added as I see fit ^w^

Hello, I'm terribly sorry for being so inactive!

A lot of things have been going on recently, as well as my hyperfixation changing back to umamusume and other ocs of mine. However I would love to get back to posting about the main four as well as working on the VN again :) I've been figuring out some lore things while I've been away so I'm excited to post about it when i get everything more streamlined :D

The things that happen while I'm trying to write

When you're trying to type too fast

Hey, sorry about no Lacie or Lukas illustrations today. My computer crashed while I was sketching Lacie's and it kind of killed my motivation. I will get them done though, don't worry :)

"Only way to fuck it up is to be boring!"

Second of the cast as their Flavor Foley songs, Player as Spoken For!! Hoping to have Lacie up tomorrow. :)

"It's wrong, It's right, and god I'm so alive!"

Drawing the main 4 as their Flavor Foley songs!! Starting with Recluse as Ego Renegade Boy, hopefully Player tomorrow.

Player and Recluse!

[ourdreamvn]

Again my sincerest apologies for not having posted anything in a few days. Here's some doodles of Player to compensate.

I am still working on the visual novel, my motivation has just been a bit low as of recently.

(I also have to redo a big chunk of the script cause i'm not happy with it, lol)

Thanks for sticking by!

[ourdreamvn]

Small apology for not having any new content these last few days. Our Dream is still being worked on, but I've been hyperfixating on some ocs from a different project q-q

[ourdreamvn]

More doodles ! yippee

Finally some player content + more Lacie !! i was playing around with some other cozy outfits for her and a little bit of lore :D

[ourdreamvn]

Some character introductions cause i like filling out this for my characters :)

No player since that depends on who's playing them

also i completely forgot but asks are open now! send something if you'd like

[ourdreamvn]

Bunch of doodles i made, blood warning under the cut

[xsugarcoalx]
